Loved the cottage and location. Easy acess to trails and locals seem real helpful and friendly. The host was real helpful and reacted immediately during the blizzard after power outage occurred with a generator and gas to keep the heat on during the storm. Loved the cottage was pet friendly.

Property was peaceful and conveniently located to all that the upper peninsula had to offer. Right next to the cozy village of Grand Marais and near a great disc golf course. It was well-maintained, the owner was communicative and friendly, and there were convenient touches throughout. Would stay again!

Nice house and location but could use some improvements. Water pressure in the shower was low and it was hard to find a water temp that was comfortable. The heat was also hard to control. It was either too hot in the living room or it cold everywhere else. The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay.

This was perfect for us. Cloe to beaches for rock hunting or just watching the sunset on the beach. Within driving directions to lots of stuff to do. Very quiet and peaceful. House was a real surprise as it had everything you need except food , you supply yourself. Would recommend it for anyone who appreciated a restful place to stay. Can't say enough good things about it.
